[QUOTE="Jerry Abson 3, post: 893088, member: 65373"] Todd, I saw a program on Discovery (the bane of my wife!) on recycling, and it was plastic water bottles made back into shirts, polyester I think. Anyway, 5 bottles make one shirt. Pretty freekin cool! Here in my neck of the woods, we have one large recycle 'bin' where cardboard, paper, bottles, cans, etc, get thrown in, every two weeks they pick up. We are being charged for it, and we are dinged if any gets into the regular trash. Yea, I am not fond of paying for them to recycle, and then sell that recycle, but I am not complaining. Its amazing how much is recyclable when you see the size of our recycle bin compared to our garbage can, twice the size! And we fill the recycle everyweek to the top, not so with our garabage. Oh, and in my office, they got rid of the large 5 gallon water bottles here, to cut down on landfill. Talk about a heated discussion! No one seems to understand that our water is probably the best this side of the Mississippi! Most folks here are sold on the whole 'if its bottled, its better' thing. They couldn't understand how our chemically and mechanically filtered water was better then the 'filtered through reverse osmosis' bottled water was! Ah, thier bucks, not mine! [/QUOTE]
